Phuket, Thailand

Dream Phuket Hotel & Spa is absolutely the hotel from your favorite vacation daydream. Upon arriving at Dream, you’re welcomed with friendly staff and a complimentary signature drink (which when I arrive included the flavors of lychee,) a cold refreshing towel and a Thai garland. But what really awaits you is an amazing, relaxing and beautiful oasis of a large outdoor pool, pool bar and private cabanas. Beyond what your eyes initially see, you’ll also find amenities such as a state of the art Fitness Center, Sanctuary Spa (perfect for a true Thai massage,) a hidden restaurant and bar called indulge and the Vu Rooftop Pool and Bar. Gourmet complimentary breakfast is served every morning at the Trilogy restaurant, My favorite amenity was the infinity rooftop pool because not only does it overlook the beauty of the hotel, you can also oversee the beauty of Phuket, Thailand.

Dream Phuket offers standard rooms, suites and villas. Since I was celebrating my 30th birthday, (definitely a special occasion for celebrating) I chose the Sky Pool Suite for my stay. Honestly, I don’t think I could put into words how perfect my suite was. When I walked into my room where I would be staying for three nights, I was instantly all smiles. The Sky Pool suite has a living room, kitchenette and bathroom with a rain shower, free standing stone bathtub, two balconies with sliding doors (one in bedroom, one in living room) and of course the part that sold me was the private plunge pool. Dream Phuket is currently offering a Flash Sale Promotion for 35% off from the Best Available Rate (as of January 20,1018) so I highly suggest you book your trip to Phuket and your stay at Dream Phuket now.

The lovely thing about Dream Phuket is it is located near Laguna, a more private, luxury and elite part of Phuket. This makes it a great hotel for couples, or an intimate group of friends or family. I chose Dream Phuket but not only did I want a special experience for my 30th birthday, it was also my four year anniversary of being with my boyfriend. To celebrate our anniversary, we had an intimate and fun Thai Cooking Class experience with Chef Kong at the Trilogy restaurant. Chef Kong was so lively, funny, detailed and knowledgeable on how to make authentic thai cuisine. The Thai Cooking Class includes 2 glasses of soft drink or 1 house wine/beer and manual preparation of a 3 course meal. For our cooking class we made the appetizer Som Tam (Thai style papaya and mango salad with shrimp,) as a Main Dish we had Pad Thai with Shrimp (or can be made with chicken if you prefer) and Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. For over an hour we laughed and cooked with Chef Kong as he taught us how to prepare spices, noodles and traditions to create authentic Thai meals.

After relaxing in my room, hanging out with Chef Kong and eating my amazing Shrimp Pad Thai, of course I want to head out into Phuket and find out what it’s really about. Some nights I wanted to party in Patong Beach where all the hot spots are but one day I just wanted to hang out by the water, get some drinks and food while catching some sun. This was done five minutes away by free shuttle transfer from Dream Hotel to the Dream Beach Club. At the Dream Beach Club you can reserve a private cabana, party at night at Level One, explore fine dining or pool side bites and swim in their pools or private beach. Its the perfect high end experience that truly embodies the Dream brand.

My experience was a dream come true. I don’t say that lightly. I couldn’t imagine experiencing my birthday and my anniversary at any other hotel in Phuket. My room alone was the perfect intimate luxury experience that I was looking for. The attentive service from concierge and the dining experiences coupled with the beauty of the hotel was everything a girl could ask for stepping into this next important decade of life. Thank you Dream Phuket, I hope to return soon!
